Best thing Popa said today was ‘nobody is entitled to a Roos spot’
maybe he will ditch some of Arnies old favorites

Expecting personnel changes under poppa, plus possibly no more club coaches selecting the socceroos team.

If the rumours are true and Rudan is indeed assistant coach with Spider as GK coach then .... well..... I guess ...... ?

The couldn't pick O'rudan, not after the shit he pulled with Thomas last year. And Kalak is a problem gambler. If this was the team I'd expect alot of early international retirements

Not surprised Wilkshire has gone - he has virtually no coaching experience, and has lacked insight as a commentator compared to the others, but really surprised about Rene?

Vastly experienced and has written the Man U Youth Acad curriculum.

Have't read a lot of the comments, but I totally endorse Pop as the senior coach.

Contrary to a few MV fans on here, he had them playing good football.

Rudan will not be assistant to anyone. 
Yes they are all mates, but i cant see Rudan being assistant to Popa.
If anything, Kalac will be a GK Coach as Sydney United just sacked him as coach.

I expect personal changes under Popa but all attacking/creative players will be expected to adhere to strict defensive duties.

I expect faster attacking transitions compared to Arnold's teams.

Jury out on how Popa-ball will translate to breaking down low blocks.

I don't expect games under Popa to be particularly entertaining.

Tbh I’m loling the quote Cros take over - quite ironic if it was tbh - after all the the GG of ethnics were brilliant no matter the negatives by some here :)
By the way I bumped into Rudan just 2wks back at a good golf course and one of my fellow footballing fanatics had a yak with him what he’s up to.
He quoted a Jap gig was looming - true or not who knows and I highly doubt as mentioned he’d work under Poppa but Oz football does the strangest things.

Arzani's Iranian,  Hrustic you'd think would be first on the cards, but then again he's Bosnian in heritage so who knows. 

My bet is Gabriel Popovic is there soon.

I just realized we play China in 14 days. How time flies!!!! Not much time for an assessment of players and how they might fit into the team. Good that Poppa has some idea from the time spent at Victory.

Presumably that means the squad is selected sometime next week. Yikes!!!!

Socceroos management is imploding:

"Assistant Coaches René Meulensteen and Luke Wilkshire, Goalkeeper Coach John Crawley, Head of Sports Science Fabian Ehrmann, Senior Technical Analyst Adam Barbera and Advisor Michael Zappone will no longer be involved with the senior men’s national team."

https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/subway-socceroos-coaching-staff-update

I know when a coach leaves, it's common to clear out his team, and for the new coach to bring in his team of coaching staff. But we have a game against China and Japan in a couple of weeks, and we're already struggling in the Qualifiers. Not sure if there's time to build a team while the ship is sinking?
